Care

General Maintenance: Repot every spring when the plant is still new, and after a few seasons only repot once it has become root bound. Renew the topsoil every year to provide the plant with new nutrients. Prune to maintain a neat habit and reasonable height. 

Temperature: 15°C - 24°C is ideal. Ensure they are not exposed to temperatures below 12°C. 

Light: A brightly lit spot without direct sunlight is ideal. 

Watering: Water once the top few inches of soil have completely dried out. Do not overwater. Average humidity is fine. Occasionally mist the plant during warmer summer months. 

Soil: A well-drained and well-aerated soil works best. 1 part peat, 1 part bark and 1 part coarse sand or perlite is a good mix.

Fertilizer: Feed once every two weeks during the spring and summer months with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
